Gent looks to have recovered from his 'injury' rather quickly eh.

Jeez, why would we want both?! Surely one experienced (very old) CB coming in is enough. It’ll be like watching two oil tankers turning if they’re both on the pitch together.

Of course; but the sheer number of players that have left the club meant that there was a lot of wiggle room with the wage budget. Perhaps some kind of green light has been given but I just wanted to highlight that it'll be crumbs at absolute best that we'll have to revamp the squad.

Ohashi is a free, or otherwise an extremely small fee. Batth is a free, this French lad is free. It's only Big Mak that's cost a fee and that's the tiniest fraction of the funds the club has received over the past year or so.

The dynamics within the changing room are going to be very interesting - two big and popular characters in Szmodics and Gallagher being replaced, so far, by two lads from overseas with at least one them not being able to speak the lingo. You sense any further signings, Mcfadz aside, look to be going the same way too with Park and Rudy leading the charge.

Ennis barely tried. Gallagher puts in a shift when he is fit - which is rarely I’ll admit.

Was strongly rumoured to have had his medical yesterday. Would seem as though we're waiting for Szmodics/Gallagher funds to hit before we can get anyone over the line. That, or as above, we'll bugger up any prospective deals at the 11th hour.

I literally have only seen 2-3 clips of him, so I'm coming from a standing point with this observation, but he didn't look bad with his feet - quite tricky from what I did see.

Word continues to spread concerning the shambles that is Blackburn Rovers: https://www.betvictor.com/blog/gab-suttons-championship-24-25-season-preview/

"Siggy could well be our Szmodics / BBD this season" is a line I've seen/heard a couple of times. Tough to score 20+ from the treatment table!

Well I called it that Brereton would be back in English football within 12-18 months albeit I thought he’d be back off to the championship. I think he’ll find his natural level back there after the season is out.

You beat me to it. It’s gonna be one sunny land for the lad today with all those stories.

He’d cost a fee. You can scratch that one off the list for that reason.

If that’s the guy who referred to the worst manager in our clubs history as ‘Keano’ in one of his posts then I think we can safely assume he’s a WUM or a Dingle.

Travis possibly. Tronstad was a reject from this division a few years ago - no chance he’s on decent championship wage.

Very possibly. Beyond he, Gallagher and Szmodics I can’t imagine anyone else is on anything remotely competitive for the championship. Operation downgrade in full swing.

Surely Eustace won’t put up with this for too long? He’s already pissed off - understandably - and a true ball hasn’t even been kicked.

I reckon I can count on two hands how many goals that lot would get in a 46 game season.

If the c**** are still able to be here in two seasons time. I hope and pray that they won’t be able to.

Some can dress it up how they want but as it stands: - We kick off the season two weeks today - We have signed zero players - THE only reason we stayed up last season is about to leave - Our only senior striker on the books is about to leave

For those eulogising over Gallagher leaving - he is the ONLY senior striker on our books. Be careful what you wish for with our zero budget - and this is coming from someone who doesn’t really rate him and acknowledges he’ll barely play half the season.

Like one or two others.

It’s a fair point. It’s all good and well refusing to sell Gallagher during his last year with the club but realistically how many games will he be fit for? A third? Who plays up top then? Vale? The 16 year old lad? It’s gonna be a car crash.

Zero chance we get that sort of deal for him. As above will be under £10m but perhaps with a few extras.

Jesus Christ that attack 😂 have to laugh or you’ll cry.
